Canned immunity is BACK!

L.A.W. knows you are burnt out, tired, and counting down the days until Thanksgiving just so you can have a break. Due to most classes switching to online formats, the L.A.W. executive board decided to move Canned Immunity onto a virtual platform!

The rules are still the same, $2 or 2 cans per ticket or $5 or 5 cans for three tickets. Tickets can be used to receive “immunity” from being called on in selected classes. Email your ticket to your professor the day you want to use the ticket.

One ticket may be used per class. Please see the list of participating professors and restrictions. L.A.W. and Professors will be implementing the Honor Code on ticket usage.

Due to COVID-19 there are many food-insecure families in our area who need help, especially around the holidays. It would be shameful to take advantage of Canned Immunity and the work L.A.W. has put in to lie about ticket usage.
